Can't the owner of the USB copyright mark revoke and sue them for using it in a non-standard implementation? If you don't follow the spec, and nobody punishes

Can't the owner of the USB copyright mark revoke and sue them for using it in a non-standard implementation?
If you don't follow the spec, and nobody punishes you, don't be surprised if more people follow suit...
- mkj 11y agoIt's a trademark too, so if they don't enforce it then they'll lose it? Perhaps enforceability is already lost...
